You can find examples of this in the same link. Some christian branches since Saint thomas take nature and science as a kind of revelation, the natural revelation, above the written revelation when studying the natural world.
Science is different from religion. You maybe did´nt understood me. But like any human activity, science can be used by the mytopoeic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythopoeic>instict of every human to create idealized archetipes of behavior in support of a homegeneous life style in a comunity. This mytopesis as part of a wider social capital instinct where the myth creators and the receptors accept and refine their own myths by an agonic identification of utility and truth, individually perceived as Truth and Goodness, in a shared, comunitary feeling, where conversion, expressions of faith, expontaneous expression of disdain and aggresivity against opposed myths is part of the normal development of the comunity. We see this social capital + mytopoeic instinct working today, as for example, in the idealization of scientific figures such is Darwin, as shown in this paper, but also in the case of Hitler, Stalin, Mic Jagger, ... or your company chairman or even your kids. Myths are everywhere and beliefs will be forever as long as men live in society. I wrote something about the social capital instinct and the mytopoeic instinct but it is unfinished https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C2eynaOgz-C8SzU1qNZdTks2BAIoAZ1QuUB_IEDVXvk/edit > Brent > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Everything List" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
